blogbury in china, part 6: chengde

We had a typical tour guide (she was half Manchu, actually), and she managed basically everything for us, from our 7:30 wake-up call to the food at each restaurant.

The biggest thing that’s missing from these pictures: we saw dozens of Buddha statues, including the single biggest wooden Buddha in the world (which was absolutely jaw-dropping), but we were forbidden from taking pictures of any of them.
